Observation of Ultrafast Lattice Heating in thin Metal Films using Time-resolved Electron Diffraction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
We show that time-resolved electron diffraction is capable of revealing the ultrafast lattice heating in thin metal films following excitation by a femtosecond laser pulse. The build-up of the lattice temperature leads to a reduction of the diffraction intensity of the various diffraction orders due to the Debye-Waller-effect. We also observed a reduction of the transmitted (000)-signal which exhibits the same temporal evolution as the diffraction signals.
